I. What is Facebook Live?

Facebook Live is a feature that lets users stream live content on their public homepage, group, personal page, or event. It allows real-time interaction with fans and friends through conversations, performances, Q&As, and virtual events. Viewers can join in the conversation, ask questions, leave comments, and express their moods during the live broadcast.
The Facebook live broadcast is accessible on mobile devices and computers. To live broadcast on a mobile phone, install the Facebook application. For computer broadcasting, a camera and third-party live broadcasting tool are needed. Facebook supports multiple live broadcasting tool partners such as BeLive, BoxCast, EasyLive, Grabyo, and Livestream Studio.
Facebook allows users to invite guests to join in the live broadcast and display both the host and the guests on a split-screen. Here’s how to set up a split-screen live broadcast on Facebook.
